Congratulations to everyone who ran for South Africa in the Vitality Running World Cup. Thanks to you, we can now proudly call ourselves the 2021 Vitality Running World Cup Champions!
How we performed (spoiler: we won!)
From 21 September to 10 October 2021, 628 000 registered runners across the globe ran a total of 3.2 million km in the Vitality Running World Cup. Imagine running from earth to space and back - that's how far we ran together! Out of this world!
We also donated 189 403 polio vaccines to children in need via UNICEF, and set a new Guinness World Record for completing 19 862 virtual 5 km runs in 24 hours on 25 September.
But the winning doesn't end there....
